This study aims to examine the relationship between the gender of the CEO and target firm risk in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in Sweden. Previous research has shown that there may be differences in risk attitudes and behavior between men and women, which could affect their decision-making processes in M&A transactions. However, little research has focused on the relationship between CEO

Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu var en av de första författarna att tilldela den kvinnliga vampyren en betydande litterär roll i sitt framstående verk Carmilla (1872). Drygt 130 år senare ger Stephenie Meyer nytt liv åt den litterära vampyren i sin roman Twilight (2005) – med en helt annan tolkning av den mytomspunna figuren. Med hjälp av ett feministiskt perspektiv ämnar uppsatsen fördjupa sig i vampyrge

I svensk rätt saknas lagstiftning som reglerar kommersiella entreprenadavtal. Istället regleras sådana avtal genom särskilda standardavtal som utarbetats av branschföreträdare under flera decennier. AB 04 är ett av de mest centrala standardavtalen på den kommersiella entreprenadrättens område. Syftet med denna framställning är att utreda innebörden av garantiansvaret i AB 04 kap. 5 § 5. Enligt deThere is no legislation regulating construction contracts between commercial parties in Sweden. Instead, these types of contracts are governed by special standard-form contracts that have been developed by industry representatives over several decades. AB 04 (General conditions of contract for building and civil engineering works and building services) has gained a central position in the field of

Poverty and non-discrimination law have traditionally evolved on two parallel tracks. The former has primarily been dealt with in socioeconomic terms, while the latter mainly focused on civil and political rights. Despite having the legal avenues to do so, the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) remains reluctant to recognise poverty as a discrimination ground. Hence, this thesis explores the c

System on Chip (SoC) designs contain a variety of Intellectual Property (IP) cores, including digital signal processing blocks, media and graphics processing units, as well as processing core units that employ multiple-port memories to enhance performance and bandwidth. These memories allow parallel read/write operations from the same memory blocks from different ports. Due to the enormous number

Academic research on a global level and somewhat in Sweden has addressed the risks queer refugees face, uncovering vulnerabilities, their responses, and views on the agency. Though they left open questions about how much queer refugees can or can not respond to their vulnerabilities, how is this correlated to their agency, and what is the intersectionality of their experiences. This research aims

Uppsatsen behandlar rätten till en skälig levnadsstandard genom ekonomiskt bistånd för barn som saknar rätt att vara i Sverige (vilka benämns barn utan papper i uppsatsen). Rätten till en skälig levnadsstandard är en väletablerad rättighet i en humanitär välfärdsstat som Sverige. Av flera internationella bestämmelser som Sverige åtagit sig att följa, däribland den allmänna förklaringen, gäller denThis thesis handles the right to a reasonable standard of living through financial aid for children who lack the right to be in Sweden (referred to as children without documents within the thesis). The right to a reasonable standard of living is a well-established right in a humanitarian welfare state like Sweden. Of several international conventions that Sweden has undertaken to follow, this appl

As a result of climate change, temperatures have been steadily increasing in the last half century and extreme weather events such as storms, extreme heat, extreme precipitation and cold spells have been observed to occur more frequently. This comes with potential consequences for lives and health. There are several factors affecting the climate in a region. A phenomenon that has a large impact in

Sanctions have been in place for many, many years and are, so to speak, an internal tool for influencing foreign policy. Sanctions are intended, as part of other foreign policy activities, to influence the policies or activities of another state or group of people that are considered to be a threat to international peace and security. This thesis examines how wartime sanctions on individuals work,

The field of trans studies is a growing, yet still small field within the Nordic context. There is a big gap in research regarding non-binary* lives, and research aimed at the intersection between age and gender identities beyond or between the gender binary is close to non-existent in Sweden. The aim of this study is to investigate experiences of not having a language to describe and communicate

Hur jordbruket blir en lösning på klimatkrisen. Visste du att det lagras in cirka dubbelt så mycket kol i marken än vad det finns totalt i atmosfären? Det betyder att en liten förändring av kollagret i marken kan göra stor skillnad för koldioxidhalten i atmosfären. En ökad kolinlagring i jordbruksmark har därför pekats ut som en viktig åtgärd för att minska den globala uppvärmningen. Men vad innebIncreased carbon sequestration in agricultural land is an important measure to reduce global warming. Since the soil is a large carbon sink, a small change in the soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks can make a substantial difference to the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere. An increase in SOC improves the soil health and fertility which in turn gives better yields and a more secure food supply

The built environment will soon continue to develop as virtual and augmented reality become increasingly integrated into how we work, play, and learn. My degree project explores the many possibilities of combining architecture with augmented virtuality by looking into this new medium of technology that is constructing mixed reality with the built environment. It talks about the metaverse in bri

Many cities are facing the problem of old industrial areas whose soil has been contaminated with toxic substances created by different historical activities within the area. The great unsolved environmental problems, such as: water, soil and air pollution prob- lems, and habitat loss in the Öresund region today, are a result of the industrialization era. “Reclaiming Eco-Assemblages” lays out a m
